Coming up on 30 years since the Dunblane school shooting massacre (13th March 1996) and watching another documentary about it. The families wanted to end legal handgun ownership and we passed those laws. We’ve not had a school shooting since. I ache for all Americans who cannot get this done there.

Trump only got into Wharton after his family pulled strings and got him an interview with an official who did a "special favor" to the family. A Wharton prof later said he was "the dumbest goddamn student" he ever had.

So, yes, his admission does say a lot about how smart he is.

It's so fortunate that trump preemptively demolished half the WH. Now we don't have to worry about Iran doing it.

“I didn’t vote for THIS,” say the manosphere podcasters who simply had no way of knowing that Trump would lie about being a populist to get into office and then govern like a autocratic lunatic once in power, other than the fact that he did it for 4 entire years before that.

If this isn't criminal, what is?

I'm talking about whoever does his makeup. Does no one in the world love him enough to tell him he looks like he's been dead for a week?

trump is stupid in most ways, not to mention psychopathic. But if there's one thing he understands, it's covering his ass; and if there's another, it's monetizing disaster.

So yeah, if he was innocent, we'd have the merch to prove it.
